The artwork is gorgeous, very impressive for a jam! I like the controls and sounds too, its a fun game with some unique ideas :)
Thank you so much!!
Really impressive art! I’m surprised at the amount of detail you were able to fit in such a small screen size. Exploring the island was fun, especially finding things and thinking “I don’t know what this is but I’m sure I’ll find out” and then finding the relevant NPC afterward. I wasn’t able to figure out where to use the shovel in the end, but I had a good time overall!
I played this on stream today (recording here) in case you’re interested in watching a playthrough of your game. Good job!!
Thanks you sm! I watched the video, it's very fun to see someone playing our game haha
We intend to release a post jam version with bug fixes and some other QoL changes and extra content. Maybe give it a go again ^^
A super unique take on the control schema, and it worked so well that it didn't take any time at all to learn. The island was beautiful. The combats were interesting. The different font usage was well done. The art and music was beautiful.
Well done!
Thank you so much!!
Nice game! had fun :)
Very very very hard. I tried a few times but couldn't win. I still find the art just impressive and the game was really good! Good job!
I love the fact that there's a first-person game for gameboy like this. That's a really cool idea. Seems really hard to survive and fight, though.
Very cool concept. I never played anything like this on the Game Boy, but dang, I wish there had been. Well, I guess now there is!
I feel like I’ve seen takes on this genre where you move a mouse or little hand around with the D-pad, which can be kind of excruciating. Having quick-select options on the D-pad was really smart. It made the game feel much snappier, more fun, and more modern.
The title also really made me laugh. I was a big fan of the original Monkey (on the) Island games.
The art and music are great and really match the atmosphere. Easily one of the most memorable games I’ve played in the jam.
Thank you so much! We're very glad that you liked the game ^^
As a matter of fact, there is a game like that on game boy, Dragonheart!But tbh I just found out about it after the fact, due to a friend pointing out the similarities lol. I really recommend giving it a look, really put your mind into perspective of what gamedevs were able to do.
Art is amazing, I had a lot of fun playing, thank you!
Thank you for playing!!
Amazing art design! I love how you also shade the font, it creates such a brilliant atmosphere! I expected something different after reading the game title, but it's also really fun to play!
Thanks :> !!
I love this entire format! Really awesome way to do an adventure game like this. I think this is my pick of the whole jam.
Thaaanks!!!
too many good things to say here. this is very well put together, looks and sounds great. definitely on my list of favs so far in the jam.
Thanks!!
